CONNECTING SPEAKERS  
Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire  
of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the  
How to Connect:  
connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the  
speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is  
correct, that is, + and – markings are observed. If these wires  
are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass.  
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do  
not let them touch the metal parts of this unit as this could  
damage this unit and/or speakers.  
Red: positive (+)  
Black: negative (–)  
Unscrew the knob.  
Insert the bare wire.  
[Remove approx. 5mm  
(1/4”) insulation from  
the speaker wires.]  
Tighten the knob and  
secure the wire.

ABOUT THE ACCESSORY TERMINALS  
AC OUTLETS (SWITCHED)  
PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals  
Use these to connect the power cords from your components  
to this unit.  
Removing the jumper pins enables this unit to independently  
perform the functions of a control amplifier and a power  
amplifier. These terminals are for connection of a signal-  
processing system such as a graphic equalizer or sound  
processor.  
The power to the SWITCHED outlets is controlled by this unit’s  
POWER switch or the provided remote control transmitter’s  
POWER key. These outlets will supply power to any  
component whenever this unit is turned on.  
The maximum power (total power consumption of  
components) that can be connected to the SWITCHED AC  
OUTLETS is 100 watts.  
If a sound processor or other external unit is connected  
between these terminals, the VOLUME control of this unit can  
be used for overall adjustment of the level of sound. To  
connect such a unit, remove the jumper pins from the PRE  
OUT/MAIN IN terminals, connect the inputs of that unit to the  
PRE OUT terminals and its outputs to the MAIN IN terminals.  
For details, refer to the owner’s manual included with the unit  
to be connected.  
GND terminal (For turntable use)  
Connecting the ground wire of the turntable to this terminal will  
normally minimize hum, but in some cases better results may  
be obtained with the ground wire disconnected.

COUPLER  
Notes  
If you will not use the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals, never  
remove the jumper pins from these terminals. If removed,  
no sound will be output from this unit.  
If you will use this unit with an external unit connected  
between the PRE OUT and MAIN IN terminals, make sure  
that the PURE DIRECT switch on the front panel is turned  
off.  
If you will use this unit as a power amplifier, connect the  
outputs of an external control amplifier etc. to this unit’s  
MAIN IN terminals. In that case, this unit’s controls will not  
function except the PHONES jack and the SPEAKERS  
switches, so use the controls on the external control  
amplifier to make volume adjustment etc.
